Links & Blogrolls
Thanks to Alice W. for the mention, and for clarifying the question of the "hornbook" (what an awful name—anybody know the etymology?). Also, mad props to the following blogs for adding this site to their blogrolls: Sua Sponte (according to which AI is a "fellow traveller" blog), Two Tears In A Bucket (which calls AI a "political blog"), and Unbillable Hours (which puts AI on its list of "links of legal or public policy interest"). All of these sites have become daily reads for me in recent weeks and I highly recommend them—not just as terrific reads, but also as excellent sources of information on law school and law practice.
And while I'm at this, thanks to the kind lawyers who have offered advice outside of blogspace on the merits of law school. Your perspectives and tips have helped a great deal in giving me a better idea of whether law and I can ever be friends.

I'm about two years too late, but just in case you're still wondering... "hornbooks" were originally used by colonial schoolchildren. They look like wooden paddles with writing on them. They got their name from the thin layer of material that's glued to the wood and contains the writing; it was made from the horn of a cow or ox. We used to see them on school field trips to colonial village restorations.
